Great price on a generator. Enough power for most people.

NOT an inverter.

Featured Comments

I was looking into the bigger options during Early Access Prime Day last week or so and I was surprised at the lack of customer service people experienced with Westinghouse based on the negative comments I read. Sure there are a ton of positive reviews but those usually get submitted after one usage which I get bc your at the heat of the moment but the negative reviews truly showed me how bad the brand stood behind their product.

I was pretty upset discovering this bc I almost pulled the trigger on their 12k watt model. Anyone experienced a more positive experience with them?
The only thing I see is the 3600c has Carbon Monoxide (CO) Shutdown and the 3600 doesn't
No electronic start FYI

These are getting cheap. But please, please do not use this camping or anywhere else you are close to people.
Why? Carbon monoxide or noise? Is CO worse on this model compared to others for some reason?

Probably noise, it's not an inverter which are much quieter.

Try being anywhere near a food truck running one of these beasts and compare it to one running a closed frame inverter and come back to us and let us know which one affected your sanity.

Great price. Gas generators are heavy so you want the model with the wheels.

Looks like both the one with the c and without have wheels.

Not slick simply because it is under $300. Not an emergency back-up generator. If buying a noisey gas guzzling conventional for emergencies then the best at the lowest price in my experience is the wgen5300dfv dual fuel. Smallest with 220V. Can connect to the house panel to operate an electric water heater or cooking or small hvac or well pump. Transfer switch ready.

A 120V inverter hand carry type is quieter, more fuel efficient, portable, can be stored indoors and has a cleaner ac output.

Why use a generator if you have electricity?

Easy start up. Fast. Quick. Simple. Nice design. Clear markings. Comes with everything but gas. Started with a simple pull.

DuroMax XP5500EH 5500 Watt [amazondealsfest.com] Generator also on sale.
800 running watts less than the wgen5300dfv. Not enough power to start many pumps compressors or run a water heater. Electric start isn't needed at all on this size generator and is actually a disadvantage with lower reliability.

Isn't this somewhat typical of a post-hurricane season sale? Okay, season is not completely over but these are just the earlier sales, others should follow.

If you're a Tier 2 or 3 Fire Zone for SoCal Edison (electricity provider) you can get a $200 rebate or $600 if within income limit.

Unfortunately, no twist lock connector to hook it up to a whole house transfer switch (usually found in higher wattage models) which is 30A there at 240V. Plus, as Kuma1 pointed out, the THD can be considered high at 23% which can disrupt sensitive electronics (or cause flickers in things like LED lights).

Yes their customer service is horrible. If you have any problems just take it back to the store.

Aside from Costco, who would take it back a year+ after purchase? Some of the reviews even said local small engine repair shops hate dealing with Westinghouse.
